Jogging on the pavement

I just finished jogging a mile on pavement. My ankles are killing me, but other than that it wasn't as jarring as I thought it would be. The first mile is always the hardest, at least that's what everyone says. I'm going to try and jog on the road every other day for a week or so then I will be doing it every day. Gotta be road ready for June 26th!
